Ink Stains, Volume 9
Relationships are complicated at best. Some are beautiful, some are beautiful disasters, and some are just deadly.

Martinez, Matt Meyer, Ted Myers, Adam Michael Nicks, Jay Outhier, Doug Russell, Ryanne Strong, Bobbi Thomas, Lynden Wade, Kathleen Wolak, and Todd Zack give us a look at interactions between people behind closed doors and in the dark corners of their minds where dangerous, delirious thoughts sometimes turn into actions.
Ink Stains
Relationships are complicated at best. Some are beautiful, some are beautiful disasters, and some are just deadly. This edition of Ink Stains explores some of the most fantastic, frightening, and fascinating dysfunctional relationships ever put down on ink, be it with a parent, a friend, a would-be lover, or Kurt Cobain. Authors Clay McLeod Chapman, Mario E. Martinez, Matt Meyer, Ted Myers, Adam Michael Nicks, Jay Outhier, Doug Russell, Ryanne Strong, Bobbi Thomas, Lynden Wade, Kathleen Wolak, and Todd Zack give us a look at interactions between people behind closed doors and in the dark corners of their minds where dangerous, delirious thoughts sometimes turn into actions. Ink Stains, a quarterly anthology published by Dark Alley Press, is about shining a stark light on the shadows of life, exploring those dimly lit corridors, and unearthing those long-buried secrets. We don't believe good will always triumph over evil or that someone will always be around to save the day. Sometimes all we have is ourselves. And the stories that keep us turning the page.

Phyll to Her Friends
A riveting story of grinding poverty and casual cruelty in 1920s Halifax. A time just within the edges of living memory when a four-year-old child danced for pennies on a pub table, to pay for her father's drinking. And as a nine-year-old, that same child scrubbing the outside steps of the big houses in all weathers, for a few, desperately needed pennies. Yet this is not just social history, a tale of a child and her mother trying to survive against the odds. This is the story of the author's mother and grandmother, tales which Kathleen heard many times throughout her own childhood. Unflinching, unsentimental without self-pity, Kathleen's mother refused to be defined by the appalling circumstances of her childhood, and with courage and dignity, grew into the woman known simply as Phyll to her friends. The book is enhanced by historic photographs of the times.
Little Drifters: Kathleen’s Story
The harrowing true story of a travelling Irish family bonded by love, broken apart by life, and then betrayed by their carers in a cruel convent in Ireland.
It Was Like This
Kathleen Crozier nie Knights was born in Middle Street, Hastings in 1908. In this autobiographical account of her early years Kathleen draws a vivid and vibrant picture of the south coast town as it was in the second decade of the 20th century. Family life, the day-to-day bustle of a working street, focal points of the area, and joyful excursions into the countryside are all recalled with great affection and a wry wit. Relatives, neighbours, tradespeople, even Blossom the cart-horse are so sharply defined we know them intimately. Interwoven throughout the text are details of schooling, shops, songs, games, clothes and entertainments that further define the period. There is also reference to the personal impact of the first world war. IT WAS LIKE THIS is not merely a social or personal history, it is a time and place re-visited. It is also a warm tribute to the character and characters of Hastings, and a celebration of childhood unfettered by modern day restraints.
Sleeping with One Eye Open
How do women writers cope with changes and juggle the demands in their already full lives to make time for their lives as artists? In this anthology, noted female novelists, journalists, essayists, poets, and nonfiction writers address the old and new challenges of "doing it all" that face women writers as the twenty-first century approaches. With eloquence, sensitivity, and more than a touch of wry humor, Sleeping with One Eye Open relates positive stories from women who lead effective lives as artists, emphasizing how sources of inspiration, discipline, resourcefulness, and determination help them succeed despite the obstacle of "no time." The title essay, Judith Ortiz Cofer's "The Woman W...
Kathleen M. Beswetherick 1922 - 1996
Kathleen's life as remembered by herself. The book falls into two main sections. In the first KMB remembers her childhood as the only daughter of a Methodist minister. The second part looks at her early married life as the wife of a poultry farmer. In most of this account Kathleen is living in Bude, a place for which she had great affection. The other strand running through the book is Kathleen's love of music and the piano.
My Pink Room
After her father's extended illness and death, ten-year-old Kathleen Mackey captured her experience of loss in a journal including original poetry and the initial pages of an autobiography. After she rediscovers the forgotten childhood journal twenty-five years later, the story continues as the little girl matures into a woman determined to discover life's happiness in spite of her loss. Kathleen intends for her childhood memories to remain safely tucked in dusty boxes in her mother's attic, but her mother has different ideas. She encourages Kathleen to open the chest that holds restless reminders of a carefree youth that was suddenly shattered by death, and Kathleen finds herself overwhelmed with the same confusion and frustration that had haunted her for years after her father died. As she reflects on the impact of her father's death in everyday events and casual conversations and sets out to once again find joy and meaning in her life, Kathleen weaves original poetry into her narrative, painting a tender portrait of a child's journey to adulthood. My Pink Room is an empowering story of perseverance and hope that proves that sorrow does not have to overshadow the joy of life.
